Shen Yunzhe, who grew up in an orphanage, was laid off by his company. After failing to find a job, he was tricked into a thrilling live-stream game.
The process was full of hardships and ter...
Chapter 162
"Did we take the wrong road? Isn't this the core game field?" Huang Yihua looked at Shen Yunzhe.
She did not look anxious. Huang Yihua herself grew up in a Taoist temple and cultivated her character since childhood. She seldom showed excitement. When she realized this problem, she just frowned slightly and spoke with more caution.
Shen Yunzhe nodded with feigned seriousness. "That's why I said I wanted to go back. It's all your fault for dragging me away."
"There was no way back, so we could only move forward." Huang Yihua sighed softly, and he really believed it.
Only Li Yuluan, who understood Shen Yunzhe well, patted him from behind and said, "Alright, if you don't want to move forward, who can pull you forward?"
Shen Yunzhe looked at Li Yuluan innocently.
"Bullying people is not a good habit," Li Yulun said. "Huang Yihua will believe whatever you say. You can't lie to an honest person."
Huang Yihua: ...?
His expression slowly froze in confusion.
"What are you talking about? Bullying honest people is the most fun." Shen Yunzhe said happily, "It's obviously a joke, but they believe it without a doubt, no matter how outrageous it is. It's really interesting. I used to love teasing honest people the most."
"So... you are lying to me?" Huang Yihua continued to be confused.
Shen Yunzhe laughed enough, and finally replied kindly: "This is also the core game field."
"Too?"
"Don't you find it strange? The organization claims the core gaming area is a quiet, non-aggressive place. So, how can such a quiet, non-aggressive place continue to spread, encroaching on the real world and other worlds?" Shen Yunzhe said with a smile, "This can only mean there are two such places."
"One is the place where the organization said the quiet time is suspended. It's similar to the way we came here, and the other is here."
"A playground full of aggression and aggression."
Shen Yunzhe put his hands together and said, "They were originally one."
Then he separated his hands again, "It's just separated."
"What Chen Wei found was a quiet and non-aggressive core gaming field." There he found Shen Yunzhe, a miraculous isotope frozen in time.
"What Wu Yan found was this core game field that was full of aggression and negativity, with the most weird things and the scariest game content." He died in this game field.
Everyone present fell into deep thought, and they began to think about what Shen Yunzhe said.
Finally, Li Yiluan spoke up, "Chen Wei is so lucky, how come you, his son, have such bad luck?"
"A quiet, non-aggressive place isn't necessarily safe." Shen Yunzhe said casually, "Didn't he die there, too?"
"Actually, the main problem right now is that the three of us can't open the game field." Huang Yihua looked at the strange creatures in the building. "If this is really the core game field, then we have to open the game field to find out what happened here."
Shen Yunzhe got bored after watching for a while, so he sat down on the spot, looking like a primary school student on a picnic.
At this moment, there was a creaking sound, and someone suddenly appeared from not far away. Huang Yihua and Li Yuluan turned their heads and were surprised to find that those were the people who entered the mountain village together.
Those people looked confused and surprised, and they didn't seem to know why they were here.
"Oh my." Shen Yunzhe smiled, "Now everyone is here."
Ding Dong, everyone's cell phone rang. This was a very familiar process. They took out their phones almost mechanically, and a familiar screen popped up on the phone.
But everyone’s phone screen was filled with garbled characters. Among the messy black characters, only the name of the game field was clearly visible.
Our Lady
Before anyone could finish being surprised, the phone interface jumped again and turned into a 30-second countdown.
"What the hell?! Isn't this a playground?!"
"No, I'm in the mountain village. How did I get into the playground?"
"Let's not talk about the mountain village for now. I just came out of the playground, how did I suddenly come back here? What's going on with this playground? They don't play by the rules?!"
"Fuck, time flies. Let's get into the playground! Where are we going?!"
"There's a building in front!"
Shen Yunzhe stood up, looked at the countdown on his mobile phone, raised his head and looked at the building in front of him. At this time, there was no one standing behind the window of the building. It looked very dead silent. Only one entrance door was open in the empty building.
Although they didn't know what was going on, as veteran players they all knew that now was not the time to worry, but the time to escape.
Enter the game field before the countdown ends.
They started running, and Shen Yunzhe was pulled up by Li Yulun and followed forward. They waited until they entered the playground and the countdown reached 0. With a bang, the entrance door was slammed shut, and everyone present trembled.
But now we have entered the game field and the first danger has passed.
The people present looked at each other. Those who could enter the mountain village were all capable players with information channels. Among the 20 people, except for Shen Yunzhe and Li Yuluan who were complete outsiders, they all knew each other a little.
But who is Shen Yunzhe? He is a legend, and no one present doesn’t know him.
Shen Yunzhe didn't care at all about the looks from people around him, his eyes were fixed on the wall.
"Li Yiluan." Shen Yunzhe pointed at the wall and called Li Yiluan, "Look, these are the rules."
Everyone looked over and the next moment they saw a piece of white paper taped to the wall.
The black words on white paper look very plain. It is A4 size and a little worn, but you can still see the words clearly.
[Every day at 3 pm, the Xiangsheng Community will hold a pilgrimage at the entrance of the community to worship the Great Virgin Mary. Community members are not allowed to go out except for this.]
[Please be kind to the residents of the community and be friendly. Visitors are welcome.]
Xiangsheng Community does not have a property management company, and property management staff will not conduct door-to-door sales. Residents are advised to identify the property on their own.
[Admission Ceremony to the Holy Community: Make a wish. As long as you have a pious heart, the Virgin Mary will fulfill your wish.]
Shen Yunzhe smiled and took out a key from his pocket. The key had 1-1 written on it, right next to the entrance door. When everyone saw it, they immediately touched their pockets and found keys to different rooms in their pockets. They also understood that they were tacitly considered residents of this community and had been assigned rooms.
He ignored the person watching him and used the key to open the door, but the door would not open at all.
There was a piece of paper stuck next to the door with two big black words written on it: Make a Wish.
"It seems you have to make a wish before you can enter the room." A player said: "Entering the room is also a necessary process. Everyone must make a wish."
"You can't enter without making a wish, hiss..."
"Don't worry, we can make some insignificant wishes." The player who spoke first said quickly, "Like, something like having breakfast."
Shen Yunzhe completely ignored them and picked up a pen to write a line on the wish list.
After I finished writing, the door opened with a click.
"I'm so tired and sleepy!" Shen Yunzhe stretched, "I'm going to sleep. Don't bother me."
Shen Yunzhe walked in and said as he walked, "This playground is pretty good. It also provides a place to sleep."
With a click, the door closed, blocking out Shen Yunzhe's voice and the surprised looks of the people outside. The people outside looked at each other, and finally Huang Yihua walked over and opened the wish Shen Yunzhe had just written to take a look.
There was only one line of words written on it: I hope I have a father in my life.
Everyone: ...
No? Is Shen Yunzhe like this?
How come they haven’t heard of it!
Shen Yunzhe couldn't sleep. Of course it was impossible for him to fall asleep. He didn't come here to sleep.
Room 1-1 is not big. It is a single-person apartment with one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom, and no kitchen. The room is a bit old, but there is a sofa. After taking a quick look, Shen Yunzhe looked towards the entrance door. There was a notebook hanging in front of the door, which should be symmetrical with the wishing book outside the door.
Shen Yunzhe opened the notebook and took a look, and found that there was only one line of words written on it.
[17:52: Today, the owner of 1-1 moved in.]
The peephole is normal, and you can see people outside through it. Those players gathered at the door of 1-1, and then dispersed after the discussion. They should have gone to their corresponding rooms.
Shen Yunzhe yawned, feeling tired and bored.
"It's really boring." Shen Yunzhe walked over and sat on the sofa. "The core game field is also a game field, and there are all kinds of messes in it."
"I hate playgrounds."
Before Shen Yunzhe could think of doing something interesting, the doorbell rang. Shen Yunzhe turned to look at the door three seconds later, and then the doorbell rang again.
Shen Yunzhe realized that it was really his doorbell ringing.
"Who is it?" Shen Yunzhe muttered, "I told you not to come looking for me."
He walked to the door, but obviously didn't want to open it. He opened the peephole, but before Shen Yunzhe could put his eyes on it, he saw a bright red spot, as if something was stuck on it.
Shen Yunzhe frowned slightly, with a hint of disgust in his eyes, and he also understood that this was probably not a normal player.
"Who is it?" Shen Yunzhe asked.
"Hello." A very soft female voice came from outside. Her voice was very weak, as if she was afraid. "I live next door at 1-2. I heard that 1-1 has a new neighbor, so I came to give you some snacks."
The female voice said, "These are the cookies I baked myself. You can try them."
Shen Yunzhe looked at the cat's eye expressionlessly, "Oh."
"Um, would you like to open the door?" the female voice asked tentatively.
Shen Yunzhe touched his chin and thought for three seconds before speaking, "What flavor are the cookies?"
"That one, it's chocolate flavored, and it also has milk..."
"What a coincidence." Shen Yunzhe said, "I'm allergic to chocolate and milk. If I eat them, I'll have to go to the hospital. You don't want me to go to the hospital, do you?"
There was silence outside, but it seemed that they were not going to give up yet.
"So what are you not allergic to? I can make it again."
"What a coincidence." Shen Yunzhe said without stumbling, "I'm allergic to everything I eat."
There was a bang, as if the door had been kicked hard.
Shen Yunzhe laughed. After this episode, he actually felt quite happy. "Neighbor? What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I just accidentally spilled the cookies." The voice outside was low and hoarse, but if you listened carefully, it was full of gnashing teeth. "Then I'll be leaving first."
The red on the cat's eye slowly faded away, and Shen Yunzhe stared at the door with a smile. A minute later, the red quickly covered it back, but it seemed that it did not find its target, and retreated in frustration again. Only then did Shen Yunzhe look outside.
There were some white and black biscuits scattered around outside his door, some of which had been crushed and looked very dirty.
"You have no sense of public morality," Shen Yunzhe said. "You made someone else's doorstep so dirty and you didn't even clean it up."
"People like this should be exposed in the property management group so that everyone can condemn them."
As Shen Yunzhe said this, he turned around and prepared to go back to the living room. At this moment, he saw the notebook at the door flash. Shen Yunzhe stopped and picked up the notebook. He unexpectedly found that there was an extra line of words on the notebook.
[18:14:1-2 The neighbor came to visit and brought some homemade cookies. I declined because of allergies and did not open the door.]
"Huh?" Shen Yunzhe looked at the notebook. "A powerful intelligent AI record book?"
Just then, Shen Yunzhe heard a rustling sound. He was still standing at the door, and the sound was so clear that he realized it was coming from outside the door.
Shen Yunzhe looked at the cat's eye, and after making sure that there was nothing on it, he put his head close to the cat's eye and looked out.
The next moment he saw a man lying on the ground, his limbs strangely on the ground, like a big black dog. He climbed and moved constantly at Shen Yunzhe's door, chewing on the biscuits scattered at Shen Yunzhe's door. He ate in no time and soon finished all the biscuits.
After eating, he burped with satisfaction and crawled back to the door next to Shen Yunzhe. With a click, the door closed, and Shen Yunzhe also saw the house number opposite.
1-3.
18:18: I heard a strange noise and looked out the peephole. It was my neighbor 1-3. He'd eaten all the cookies scattered on the floor. He must be really hungry. The things that fell on the floor were really dirty. It seems my neighbor 1-3's family is having a hard time.
Shen Yunzhe laughed and said, "Is this what you call family difficulties?"
"I think he cleans pretty well."
At this moment, there was a creaking sound and the door of room 1-2 opened again.
A woman with long black hair and a white dress walked out. She looked less than 1.6 meters tall, with her head down, holding a box of biscuits in her arms. She passed by Shen Yunzhe's door and walked to the door of the room not far from Shen Yunzhe. Shen Yunzhe saw her and pressed the doorbell.
It's 1-4.
Ding Dong, Ding Dong, the doorbell kept ringing.
But no one responded.
"New neighbor?" The woman from 1-2 kept asking, "Are you there? New neighbor, I'm a resident of 1-2."
No one responded.
The woman in 1-2 gave up. She returned to her home again with the biscuits. With a click, the door closed.
It seems that there is also a player in room 1-4. After all, this building has only 8 floors, but there are 20 players. It is normal for several players to live on one floor.
He probably heard the noise at Shen Yunzhe's door just now, so this time he pretended not to open the door.
Shen Yunzhe turned his head to look at the notebook next to him, and sure enough, there was a new record.
[18:24: 1-2's neighbor went to deliver cookies to 1-4's neighbor again, but 1-4's neighbor wasn't home. The doorbell kept ringing but there was no response. But you knew 1-4's neighbor must be home, he just didn't want to open the door, but he forgot that there was a rule in the community.]
【Residents are kind and friendly, and should live in harmony. Residents are welcome to visit.】
The moment Shen Yunzhe saw this line of words, he realized that players 1-4 had made a mistake. He wondered if there was such a record in his record book.
With a bang, the entrance door of 1-4 was opened. Shen Yunzhe watched the panicked player walk out quickly. He obviously saw the same record as Shen Yunzhe, and he kept wandering left and right at the door.
He was in trouble.
He knew that the thing in 1-2 was a strange creature and was obviously dangerous, but he had violated the rules of the community, so he had to live in harmony with the strange thing in 1-2.
Now he knocks on door 1-2 and says that he didn't hear the doorbell just now and there is still hope.
But I still say...that thing in 1-2 is a weird thing.
He wandered around for two minutes, and finally turned back to the room.
The last line appeared in the notebook.
[18:35:1-4 In the end, no apology was made.]
He is not a qualified resident.
